From: Samuel Thibault Some external modules like Speakup need to monitor console output. This adds a VT notifier that such modules can use to get console output events: allocation, deallocation, writes, other updates (cursor position, switch, etc.) Signed-off-by: Samuel Thibault Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton --- drivers/char/vt.c | 45 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- include/linux/notifier.h | 6 ++++ include/linux/vt.h | 12 +++++++++ 3 files changed, 62 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN drivers/char/vt.c~console-events-and-accessibility drivers/char/vt.c --- a/drivers/char/vt.c~console-events-and-accessibility +++ a/drivers/char/vt.c @@ -99,6 +99,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #include #include @@ -223,6 +224,35 @@ enum { };
